Income and Rents Schedule

Affordable housing provides an opportunity for lower income households to live at a cost that is generally below the market price. Income limits and rents are capped at specific percentages of the Area Median Income (AMI). The income limits are established by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and are updated on an annual basis. Each affordable housing unit will have different income and rent limits. Please see the most current Income and Rent schedule below to determine the maximum allowable household income and rent that can be charged.

Utility Allowance Schedule

Affordable units include an allowance for tenant-paid utilities, such as water or electricity. The Encinitas Housing Authority publishes a Utility Allowance Schedule on an annual basis, and is utilized for all of the affordable housing units within the City.

Compliance Monitoring

The City monitors the affordable housing units on an annual basis to ensure continued compliance with affordability restrictions and requirements. The following forms are some of the primary tools used in the monitoring process.
